Boro season
Boro harvest season, rice procurement campaign, and food security
Rice is the staple food grain of Bangladesh, cultivated during three seasons: Aus, Aman, and Boro. Among these, Boro ranks highest in terms of production volume, followed by Aman and then Aus. Historically, Aman and Aus were the primary rice seasons, while Boro was of lesser importance, limited mainly to haor, beel, and low-lying areas. However, with the expansion of modern irrigation systems and the development of high-yielding rice varieties, Boro cultivation has steadily increased, while the risk-prone Aus and Aman seasons have seen a decline in acreage.
